I can't believe that is it already November! Each day spent with these children is such a joy that seems to go by far too quickly. We celebrated Halloween on Friday with a spooky performance by the LCI band. Merci to these wonderful performers. We also participated in a short school-wide parade to show off our costumes and then had a party in the classroom. Thank you to all the families who provided yummy snacks for our party!
